What is an Assignment Template?
An assignment template allows you to take your frequently used assignments and save them into your GoReact Library. Assignment Templates save all assignment settings, instructions, attachments, Marker Sets, and Rubrics associated with the assignment. You can copy an existing assignment into your library or create a new template assignment as needed.
